FAQ About BVI Sailing and Caribbean Yacht Charters
How much does a crewed BVI yacht charter cost?
Crewed BVI yacht charters typically start around $20,000 per week and can exceed $150,000, depending on yacht type, size, season, guest count, and pricing model. See our BVI crewed catamaran cost guide for current planning ranges and examples.
What is usually included in a BVI crewed yacht charter?
Many crewed sailing catamarans include the yacht and crew, meals, a standard ship’s bar, yacht fuel, and water toys. Gratuity, premium alcohol, transfers, shore activities, and yacht-specific exclusions may be extra. Review our all-inclusive BVI yacht charter guide for details.
How many guests can a BVI yacht charter accommodate?
Many BVI catamarans are suited to 6–10 guests, while larger yachts may accommodate up to 12 or more. The right choice depends on guest cabins, crew allocation, privacy needs, and your group mix, not just the advertised maximum capacity.
How far in advance should I book a BVI yacht charter?
For the strongest selection, especially for Christmas, New Year, spring break, and other peak dates, planning 9–12 months ahead is helpful. Shorter lead times can still work, but current yacht and crew availability becomes more limited.
What is APA on a yacht charter?
APA stands for Advance Provisioning Allowance. It is commonly used on motor yachts and some premium yachts to fund expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, dockage, permits, and local fees. BVISAIL confirms the APA percentage and expected total budget before you book.
How does BVISAIL match the right yacht and crew to my group?
We compare your dates, guest count, cabin needs, budget, preferred yacht type, and trip priorities against current yachts and crews. We also review cabin allocation, crew style, pricing model, inclusions, and availability before recommending options.
